False bottom

[grubb]

I am in the process of converting a keg into a mash tun. What is everyone using at the bottom. Are you using a false bottom or something else, maybe cheaper?

Jaybirds False Bottoms are probably the most popular. They are well made with 14ga SS.

I'm converting my new keg to have a bottom drain and a false bottom. My keg will be inverted so I can use the original sanke opening with a 2" tri-clover fitting as the outlet.

Whenever I do things I like to jump in head first. Why buy something now that you might end up replacing in the future, that's why God invented credit cards! I say buy a nice boil pot and use the keg as a HTL. Good false bottoms are pricey, a musician is only as good as his instrument...

I use the one I made here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cut-keg-top-false-bottom-192413/index2.html but I do not direct fire my MLT.

GL!
